Last week two volunteers and I were making a delivery of furniture to a Water Street Mission resident who just moved out. As we got out of the truck to start carrying in the furniture I was surprised to see a familiar face a couple doors down—another volunteer who rides on the truck to pick up furniture with yet another volunteer who drives for us. Okay, that’s a lot of volunteers in one spot but I am amazed at who God brings the community together with the time, energy and ability to make this service to the poor possible.Dean Wenger • Redistribution Manager

Seeing the other volunteers, I'm sure was God's way of encouraging.
Remember when Elijah thought he was alone (1st Kings 19:14)? God told him there were 7000 others who had not bowed their knees to Baal(1st Kings 19:18)!!

Thanks Gene - and you're right it is so encouraging to realize the way that God's plans are so much more complex and connected than we sometimes realize at first. This scripture speaks to me that today, we truly aren't alone in the body of Christ!
